I am buying into the hype of the Lions. Hopefully LaGarrette Blount doesn't punch Matt Stafford in the dick.
Three nuts! Zero confrimed dick punches.
NYG -1 @ WAS: 4 Nuts
The functioning Manning has to succeed because science tells me that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but it can be transferred from one state to another; therefore the "Manning Success at Throwing Things Energy" has to go somewhere if Peyton is not playing because it has nowhere else to go, unless it goes to Archie and/or the non-NFL Manning.
-4 nuts. Cam Newton is a Manning.
CIN @ CLE -6.5: 3 Nuts
clean orange helmet > orange helmet with an oil spill on it
-3 nuts. The lesson here is that the Exxon Valdez > Prince William Sound. That equation was proven again with this match-up. I need a math tutor.

My Favorite Albums of 2010

Before we get too far into 2011, I wanted to write a post about my favorite albums of 2010. Initially, I planned on listing all the albums I thought were good that I came across in 2010, but that list was getting kind of long and who am I to judge what's good and what's not? So here's a list of the albums I listened to and enjoyed the most in 2010. I tend to fixate on an album if I like it a lot, so this list isn't terribly long, and it's not organized in any particular order.
Big. K.R.I.T., K.R.I.T. Wuz Here: This was a free mixtape released digitally in the summer of 2010. I discussed it previously on this blog, but basically it's much closer to a legitimate album than merely a mixtape, and was received as such, with Big K.R.I.T. ultimately getting a record deal with Def Jam based on Wuz Here's success.
Die Antwoord, $O$: Another album I discussed in the post linked above. My sense is you either love Die Antwoord or you hate them. Clearly, I fall in the former category, but I can definitely understand that these guys aren't for everyone. I still love this song and this one too.
Das Racist, Shut Up, Dude: Another free digital mixtape that has been on heavy rotation for me since I first downloaded it. From what I've read on message boards, it doesn't seem like internet rap nerds think these dudes are that technically proficient at rapping, which I don't necessarily agree with, but even if they aren't they more than make up for it with their subject matter and wordplay. Just about every time I listen to a Das Racist track I pick up on another arcane reference, and they have some classic lines, i.e. "white people's skin is their jewelry". Das Racist also released a second free mixtape in 2010, Sit Down, Man, which isn't bad by any means, but Shut Up, Dude is my favorite for tracks like this and this.
Sleigh Bells, Treats: The debut album from this Brooklyn-based "noise pop" duo, is hard as fuck. I saw them live opening for Hot Chip and my ears were ringing for at least two days afterward, which isn't that great of thing for my long-term health, I suppose. I actually think i like their "softest" song the most (who doesn't love a song with a girl singing "666"?), but the heavier songs aren't any less appealing and they sound great blasting in your car.
Yelawolf, Trunk Muzik: Yet another free digital mixtape that got, and still gets, heavy rotation from me. I discussed this in that one post along with Wuz Here and $O$, and I'm getting sick of typing, so I won't go into too much detail here. Plus, Yelawolf has been getting a lot of press lately after signing to Eminem's label and following the release of his official ablum, which is basically a re-worked Trunk Muzik.
There you have it; those are the albums that served as the majority of the soundtrack to my 2010. There were plenty of other albums from 2010 that I thought were pretty good, including, but not limited to: Sufer Bloods' Astro Coast; The Jacka & Lee Majors' The Gobots 2.0; PRGz's Hood Headlinaz Vol. 2; Kanye's My Beautiful Dark Fantasty; Mark Ronson's Record Collection; E-40's double album; Reflection Eternal's Revolutions Per Minute; Big Boi's Sir Lucious Left Foot...; Vampire Weekend's Contra and Roc Marciano's Marcberg.

Championship Weekend 2011
The football season is winding to a close, only three more games left for the world's degenerate gamblers. Here are our picks for today's NFC and AFC Championship games.
---------------
GB -3 @ CHI: I think the Packers should win, but my projections show it being only a one or two point victory, so I'm not super confident in this pick. I'd definitely buy the hook and/or tease this one.
PIT - 4 @ NYJ: I feel even less confident about this than I do about the Packers/Bears game. PIT should win, just not quite sure it'll be by enough to cover; my projections have them winning by only three. And I definitely think the Jets are the more likely underdog to pull out the upset today.
GB @ CHI over 42.5: I'm picking this just to have three picks. I think Vegas has the point totals correct, but I think this game has a decent shot of going over if the Bears offense and/or return game is going today.

Help Save Webster the Cocker Spaniel
For those who don't know me, I love Cocker Spaniels. Well, I love dogs in general, but I really love Cocker Spaniels. On Facebook I follow one particular Cocker Spaniel rescue group based in Southern California - Camp Cocker. They seem to do really good work and they genuinely care about the dogs they rescue. The woman who runs the rescue group has a regular job and basically operates Camp Cocker in her spare time. Needless to say, boarding, rehabilitating and providing medical care for up to 20 dogs at one time can be expensive, so Camp Cocker is always seeking donations. I'm a monthly donor myself, which makes me feel like I'm doing something good for the doggies.
Camp Cocker recently rescued a three year old male Cocker Spaniel from a high kill shelter in the Los Angeles area. His name is Webster. I haven't read too much about him or watched his videos, mostly because they make me sad, but he looks to be in pretty bad shape. He's coughing up fluids and he'll likely need a lot of medical attention.
I'm not quite sure who, if anyone, reads this blog, but if you love dogs and you can spare some money, maybe you can help Webster out by donating some money via the ChipIn link below. Per there website: Camp Cocker Rescue operates under the 501c3 of Katrina Dog Rescue, Tax ID #20-8687566. So, any donation would be tax deductible.
If you want more info about Camp Cocker, visit their website linked above or follow them on Facebook.

Divisional Week
Here are our picks for the divisional playoff games.
billy rubin:
GB +1.5 @ ATL: I actually think this line is pretty accurate, but I want Green Bay to win, so I'll take it. I'm glad I locked in GB +2.5 earlier in the week though.
PIT -3 vs. BAL: Again, I think Vegas is right on here. My projections have PIT winning 20-17, but I think there's a chance PIT beats the spread, so they're one of my blog picks. I would tease this in real life.
SEA +10 @ CHI: I don't want to go back to the well too often, but I have CHI winning by 4-6 points, not 10.
---------------
known associate agrees with billy rubin.
GB +1.5 @ atl
this is my strongest play of the weekend. the falcons' season record (and matty ice's home record) isn't legitimate as they've feasted on some terrible teams. i'm a bit concerned of the short week but the packers are peaking and i think they win straight up . i also bet a couple units on gb +3 earlier this week to be safe.
SEA +10 @ chi
i liked this play a lot more earlier this week. the bears are a different team than the one seattle beat in week 6 but cutler should screw it up just enough (in his first playoff game) for the seahawks to cover.
PIT -3 vs bal
it seems to obvious to take the points in this one. just a small play for me but i'll side with the books and bet against the public dog as the steelers are relatively healthy and the ravens o-line is banged up.
i'm also taking NE -6 first half in case anyone cares.

Divisional Weekend Preview - Part 1
The following is some expert analysis for the Bears-Seahawks game that will take place this Sunday in Chicago. Feel free to use this inside information as you please.
10:49 AM billy rubin: i kinda like seattle again this weekend
opening line is chicago -10
i think it should be closer to chicago -5
10:50 AM not your type: What's the weather forecast?
10:51 AM br: is the game saturday or sunday?
it's sunday
low 20s/high teens
partly cloudy
10:52 AM 0% chance of precipitation
but it's supposed to snow on saturday
nyt: Hmmm
Interesting
br: that forecast will probably change by sunday though
nyt: Yeah
10:53 AM I think if it's ugly, I like the bears
br: there are a lot of things to consider though
10:54 AM both teams' return games
and both teams' qb's liking to throw to the opposition
and both teams' inability to run the ball
damn, fuck the seahawks if they advance to the nfc championship game
hahaha
Fin.
10:55 AM nyt: I think the bears will win simply because in the would a bear would definitely eat a seahawk
10:56 AM In the wild
br: but a seahawk could shit on a bear
and taunt the bear with fish from the sea
all it has to do is not go within striking distance of the bear
10:57 AM and attack stealthily from behind with its talons
nyt: But a bear can have tissue crumbs on its ass
br: that is true
if tv has taught me anything in the last few years, that is it
10:58 AM byt: Once a seahawk can do that, I might change my mind

Wild Card Weekend
This post is a little late, and I'm not sure if the other guys are going to be posting anything, but here are my (billy rubin's) picks for Wild Card Weekend:
SEA +10 vs. NO: This one's not looking so good right now, but it's early yet.
IND -2 vs. NYJ: I'm not terribly confident about this game; I think it's going to be ugly and either team could win, but I'm going with the Colts for our purposes here.
GB +2.5 @ PHI: I'm more confident about this game. I expect the Packers to win straight up, but I'll gladly take the points.

College Bowl Plays Part Two
part one here.
1/3
orange bowl: stanford vs virginia tech
- STANFORD -3 for 1 unit
i'm usually partial to quarterblacks but the hokies thrive on forced turnovers and i just don't see the harbaugh/luck led cardinal committing many.
- STAN -0.5 1st quarter for 1.5 units
season averages for 1st quarter: cardinal 12, hokies 6.3. plus, a couple hokies will be benched.
bullcaca.
- STAN -2.5 2nd half for 1 unit
i'm guessing tyrod won't carry his team for an entire 60 minutes.
result: win, win and win.
cardinal 40 hokies 12 and jed york busted a couple nuts picturing this...

jim harbaugh andrew luck san francisco 49ers
sugar bowl next.
1/4
sugar bowl: arkansas vs ohio state
- ARK +3.5 for 3 units
- ARK MONEYLINE +135 for 1.5 units to win 2 units
sec > big ten so tonight i'ma side with the melanin deficient pro-style quarterback again. i'll admit, i'm a bit wary of tOSU's nfl caliber talent but they played a cupcake schedule that included only 4 games away from home (going 1-2-1 against the spread in those games). the wrong team is favored here.
result: loss, loss. buckeyes 31 razorbacks 26
"i dunno right now... my foot, that's all i know." –#2
- ARK -0.5 2nd half for 3 units
result: win. razorbacks 16 buckeyes 3
small bowl, small play on thursday night.
1/6
godaddy.com bowl: middle tenn st vs miami (ohio)
- parlay UNDER 24.5 1st half/MIAMI +3 for 0.5 unit to win 1 unit
for fucks. stay shady, mr. dasher.
result: loss. redhawks 14 blue raiders 14 half.
damn those big plays.
- MIAMI +1 2nd half for 0.5 unit
result: win. redhawks 21 blue raiders 7.
dirty.
1/7
cotton bowl: lsu vs texas a&m
- A&M +3 for 5 units
again, i think the wrong team is favored. hopefully it works out for me this time.
- parlay A&M +3/UNDER 24.5 1st half for 0.5 unit to win 1 unit
here i go again with the 1st half under.
- parlay A&M +3/AUB -0.5 1st half (monday night) for 0.5 unit to win 1 unit
- A&M -0.5 2nd half for 2 units
result: loss x4. i suck.
this dude has some knockers...

1/9
hunger bowl: boston college vs nevada
- NEVADA -7 for 2 units
the eagles boast the #1 rushing defense this season... but they've only played 2 top 50 rushing offenses; losing to both.
result: push. wolfpack 20 eagles 13. i saw it but i'm still not sure i believe bc scored 13 points.
1/10
mnc game: oregon vs auburn
the ducks' "blur" offense is scary but the tigers are battle-tested (6 wins vs top 25 teams vs 1 win for oregon) and match up fairly well. auburn's major weakness is their secondary but oregon's receivers are mediocre... so the auburn corners should be able to keep them in check with man coverage while the front seven (plus safety help) can focus on slowing down the prolific oregon running game. on the other side of the ball, i seriously doubt the undersized ducks will be able to contain auburn's smashmouth attack. in addition, the two most dominant players in this game will be wearing burnt orange– QB cam newton and possible #1 overall pick DT/DE nick fairley. definitely not the game to bet the mortgage on but i'll take the tigers.
my plays...
- AUB PICK for 0.5 unit
result: win. tigers 22 ducks 19.
- AUB -0.5 1st half for 2 units (locked in early)
oregon usually makes their run late in the second half when opposing defenses are gassed so auburn should control the game until then, at least. just wish i waited to place this bet as the line's moved to a pick.
result: win. tigers 16 ducks 11.
- UNDER 37 1st half for 2 units
one last go around with the first half under. this total is extremely high and although points will be scored, the majority should come in the second half when nerves settle and the defenses wear down. plus, these teams are coming off the longest layoff of any two teams playing in the mnc game. i figure there'll be some rust involved. a few punts and/or field goals (instead of touchdowns) should seal the deal.
result: win.
- parlay AUB PK 1st half/UNDER 36.5 1st half for 0.5 unit to win 1 unit
also added...
- tease AUB +8/UNDER 80.5 for 0.5 unit
results: win and win.
pending the lines, leaning over and ducks for the second half.
- OVER 38 2nd half for 0.5 unit
- parlay OREGON -1.5/OVER 38 for 0.25
results. loss, loss. ducks 8 tigers 6.
fade away!
final 2010-11 bowl season record:
straight bets: 18-14-1. 2 units

NFL Week 16
It's the second to last week of the 2010-11 NFL season, so it's time to go on a roll and make up for some recent, sub-par weeks. Without further ado, here are our picks:
billy rubin: I'm in Paris and I'm about to go look at some Frenchies walk around being all French and stuff, so I'm a little out of the NFL loop, but here are the games I like the most this week:
BAL -3.5 vs. CLE: The Browns are pretty much a one trick pony, and while they're not an elite defense anymore, the Ravens are good against the run and against RBs in the passing game. They should be able to contain Hillis, if not shut him down completely. Baltimore's offense is far from the juggernaut people expected, and Cleveland has proven somewhat effective at preventing opposing WRs from having big games, so this will likely be the Ray Rice show, hopefully resulting in a win of four points or more.
HOU -2.5 @ DEN: I'm not 100% sure anybody in this game will care about the outcome, and it's tough to go against Jesus' own flesh and blood (Tim Tebow) the day after his pagan birthday celebration, but I just can't see Houston winning by less than four in this game, unless there's standing water, because Tim Tebow can walk on water.
SD -8 @ CIN: There's a good chance that the Bengals literally do not show up for this game. I'd certainly want to stay home and play with my Christmas gifts and eat leftovers if I were them. If they do decide to show up, they will be able to enjoy Rivers and company running up and down the field scoring points at will, while Carson Palmer and his noodle arm will enjoy being shut down on offense.
For what it's worth, I also really like the overs in New England @ Buffalo (44.5) and Jacksonville @ Washington (46), and I'd love to play the Niners +2.5 @ St. Louis, but there's this big dumb hall of famer that pretty much erases any confidence I have in that line.
known associate:
useful stat that some handicapping geek dug out: from 1981-2000, home dogs of 2+ points covered 52% of the time during weeks 1-14. not bad but not enough to turn a profit when factoring in the vig (54% is the magic # for cappers). BUT during the last 3 weeks of the season, that number goes up to 61%. do what you will with that but either way, late regular season betting in the NFL is crazy time so i'd advise tempering the amount of your wagers. while some teams are fighting for the playoffs or byes, others are looking towards the offseason or resting starters.
BAL -3.5 @ cle
- did i say some shit about home dogs of 2+ points? i forget. also, peyton hillis (aka the browns offense) is out.
det @ mia UNDER 41.5
- putting my faith in the dolphin defense. and offense.
DEN +2.5 vs hou
- the broncos' coach kinda reminds me of the (not so) big (but very) dumb dude on the niners sideline but the texans look like they've flat out just quit playing.
i also like the new york football giants to bounce back in green bay but that home dog stat kept it from being one of my top 3 plays. although, it may be my biggest money play today if i win a few of the 10am games or have a few more brews during that time. that nyg pass rush should prove to be too much for a certain recently concussed quarterback and the packer o-line.

College Bowl Plays
i have time to do some college football capping during this holiday break so i might as well try and win some cash. tail if you wish. i actually started last night with the poinsetta bowl and i'll include it for tracking, since i won and all. i'm guessing i'll have a play for about 3/4 of the bowl games. billy rubin and not your type may or may not post plays of their own.

the mythical national championship game (also known as the BCS National Championship) isn't until january 10th. at this point, i can't decide between tits or ass.
in the meantime, known associate will be playing these:
12/23
poinsettia bowl: san diego state vs navy
- SAN DIEGO STATE -3 for 1 unit
result: win. sdsu 35 navy 14
12/24
hawaii bowl: hawaii vs tulsa
- OVER 73.5 for 1 unit
result: win. tulsa 62 hawaii 35
-parlay HAWAII -9/OVER 73 for 0.5 unit to win 1 unit
result: loss.
12/26
little caeser’s bowl: FIU vs toledo
- UNDER 59 for 1 unit
both teams rely on their running game and there's a freshman qb on one side. the clock will be ticking.
result: loss. FIU 34 toledo 32
- UNDER 29.5 first half for 2 units
toledo hasnt been to a bowl in 5 years and this is the first ever bowl for FIU so it may take a while for each team to settle down.
result: win. toledo 21 FIU 7
12/28
champs sports bowl: nc state vs west virginia
- OVER 49 for 1 unit
insight bowl: missouri vs iowa

not that i like nc state to win or anything.
12/29
military bowl: east carolina vs maryland

NFL Week 15
Here are our picks for Week 15 in the NFL.
---------------
billy rubin: I really wish I could go back in time and pick the Chargers on Thursday night - that was a money pick for sure. Alas, the flux capacitor is on the fritz, so I'll just make three picks for today's games.
N.O. +2 @ BAL: The Ravens are more bark than bite on defense this year and their offense has been far from consistent. The Saints shouldn't be hampered in the passing game, although I would expect a slightly depressed rushing attack. If the Ravens are going to make this one interesting it'll be because of Ray Rice and Todd Heap.
HOU +1.5 @ TEN: The Titans can't stop anyone. Houston put up a lot of yards against a much better, but still not elite, Ravens D last week, so this should be a good day for the Houston offense. On the other side of the ball, Houston's D isn't any good either and the Titans may finally be figuring out how to move the ball. Nonetheless, I like Houston in this game.
MIA -5.5 vs. BUF: The Dolphins offense is a mess, no doubt about that, but the Bills defense is pretty anemic against the run. Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams should be able to handle this one on their own, and Miami's D is playing pretty well lately, so they should be able to keep the Bills in check.
